SHELL 125TH Anniversary Limited Edition Heritage Canisters Collection

I was born and raised in a Chinese ‘Kampung’ in Kepong. When I was young, I always followed my parents crossed to the opposite road to buy grocery and food. There was this SHELL Petrol kiosk right at the opposite road. As a small kid, I always curious about this big yellow logo and name, wondered what was it for and why the station was so big. One day, I decided to ask my mum what is that, and my mum told me it’s a Shell Petrol Kiosk, where we could fueled up our cars so that we could move longer.

Since then, whenever I think about fuel, I will think about Shell.

This year, SHELL Malaysia is celebrating 125th Anniversary in Malaysia. Happy wonderful 125th Anniversary and thanks for bringing us the trusted fuel all this while.

On my back is one of Shell Malaysia ‘Celebrating 125 Years’ Mural art named ‘Art Spirit’ by Caryn Koh. Imagination is one of the most remarkable powers of the mind, and perhaps the most picturesque of all. In this mural Caryn captures the spirit of imagination through the use of vivid colours and patterns. A secondary schoolgirl, representing the younger generation, is depicted casually splashing paint across the wall. Traditional motives for the mural’s fringes, representing the diversity of Malaysia culture. Caryn hopes to highlight the importance of experimentation in cultivating the imagination of our youth, by allowing them the freedom to express themselves in their own unique way, either through art or by other means, society’s next generation of leaders will be better equipped in driving the nation forward.

Electric Run® Malaysia 2016 presented by Shell FuelSave

7^th May 2016 was a memorable day for a lot of us. It was an evening with heavy rain and storm, but it did not stop us from joining the Electric Run® Malaysia 2016 presented by Shell FuelSave with over 15.000 runners at Selangor Turf Club, Kuala Lumpur. Though the road and car park was really congested that evening, we still managed to reach in time to join the flag off thanks to Shell FuelSave that provides more energy and fuel efficient along the way.

The Neon shades and hues emanated even brighter than before at the Electric Run® Malaysia 2016 presented by Shell FuelSave. Organized by The Livescape Group and supported by Malaysia Major Events, the Electric Run® Malaysia made waves last year when it achieved the title for the “Largest Participation in a Neon Run” in the Malaysia Book of Records.

This year, the fun run saw an even larger participation with over 15,000 runners completing the 5km track, which culminated with a celebration graced by International superstars, Nico & Vinz, alongside a host of talented local musicians including SonaOne, Twinkies, H3, and ABeatC.

“We are thrilled to make history once again with the Electric Run® Malaysia 2016 presented by Shell FuelSave. It is exciting to see even more Malaysians coming together this year to participate in this electrifying spectacle, which enables them to pursue their passions in fitness, music and food, so that they can take home once-in-a-lifetime memories with their loved ones,” said Au Tong Sing, National Sales Manager of Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn. Bhd. 

The run, which was flagged off by Au Tong Sing; Ben Mahmud, Head of Retail Marketing of Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn. Bhd; and Iqbal Ameer, Group CEO of The Livescape Group saw the crowd cheering with excitement, as a fireworks show kicked-off the start of the run.

“The Electric Run® Malaysia 2016 presented by Shell FuelSave is an ideal platform for us to create new experiences for Gen Y drivers and promote the importance of being fuel efficient with Shell FuelSave, helping drivers fuel their busy day by enabling them to be more fuel efficient,” said Au.

“We want our customers to know that with Shell FuelSave, our company’s superior fuel efficiency product that is specially developed with Active Efficiency Ingredients, they can improve engine efficiency from the very first tank so that they do more of the things they enjoy and pursue their passions,” he added. 

In line with Shell’s commitment to encourage Malaysians to be more efficient on the road and in life, Shell FuelSave also unveiled the world’s first Shell FuelSave Do More LED Maze at the Electric Run® Malaysia 2016. How lucky are us coz this special maze features seven distinctive neon zones is designed to help capture the passions and experiences that runners can enjoy and do more of when they are more efficient. 

Just like what I’ve shared in my live social media post on that day, participants who took selfies at each zone were rewarded with a special goodie bag containing gifts from Lazada, Bfab, Celebrity Fitness, Soleus, Karrimor, Touch ‘n Go and Wall’s – inspiring runners to do more in life and on the road with Shell FuelSave.

In line with its commitment to build warmer communities across Malaysia, Shell Malaysia also built a section in the maze that encouraged consumers to make a choice for Shell to donate to one of three items – school uniforms, school bags or school shoes – for children in need. Maze runners simply needed to drop a glowstick into a collection box of their choice and the highest amount of glowstick pledges becomes the cause that Shell will support. 

Shell Select Store – The One-stop Petrol Mart for Everyone Need

As a frequent road traveler, we can’t avoid visiting a Petrol kiosk and mart. It’s a pit stop for us to rest and relax before catching up the long journey. I recently found out the brand new retail concept of Shell Select Stores @ SH Shell Damansara Jaya which I felt in love with and I wanted to introduced to you all too. 

In line with its three-year transformational programme, Welcome to Shell, which aims to deliver the best hospitality on Malaysian roads and an enhanced customer retail experience, Shell Malaysia has unveiled a brand new retail concept at its Shell Select stores, which is designed to be a food oasis for motorists, as well as announced its plans to upgrade over 100 Shell Select stores to a premium store format in 2016.

Exclusively available at top-of-the-range Shell stations, this new retail concept aims to provide customers even more varied food options in a clean, vibrant and friendly atmosphere.

The launch of the first model of this retail concept brings together popular snack and beverage franchises like Krispy Kreme (offering yummy donuts) and Boost Juice (offering Healthy fresh fruit juice) to SH Shell Damansara Jaya, complementing the freshly baked pastries and made by order coffee on-the-go already available from deli2go. There are plenty of table and chairs for customers to enjoy the break in the seating lounges with complimentary Wi-Fi and charge stations! 

Not only that, it made me feels like home at the bright and clean Shell Select Store with the big smiles on the workers’ face.

Most importantly, they have a really nice toilets and Suraus (prayer rooms) in store. I remember when I was a kid; I was terrific by public toilets a lot, especially the scary toilets at the back of the Petrol kiosk, it was really a nightmare for me! Thanks to Shell, their latest Select Store provides a clean toilets(with water and tissue). The blue sky and white clouds made it a fun journey to the toilets and Suraus. 

“Based on our research, we discovered that at least 76% of a brand favor is due to the retail experience customers have on-site. Taking into account these findings and understanding the needs of our customers, we have launched the new retail concept for Shell Select at our flagship stations to give motorists a more pleasant experience on-site, as well as choice and value,” said Datuk Azman Ismail, Managing Director, Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn. Bhd. and Shell Timur Sdn. Bhd.

Look at the exicited crowd waiting for the run to be started

A dazzling sea of colourful lights dominated the electric wonderland, as participants both young and old came decked in their most vibrant outfits paying homage the theme. Runners experienced at the first Courseland, Neffmau5 Land where they were taken to an ethereal wonderland of neon trees and sky lanterns. They then ‘weathered the storm’ at Rainforest with glowing umbrellas hanging overhead and soothing sounds of the forest in the background. At Rainbow Road, participants were then greeted with technicolor arches of lights, before they were transported to an aquatic paradise decorated with brightly lit, giant marine life at Under The Sea. Last but not least was Candy Lane, which was a treat for those with a sweet tooth; a wonderland of sweets brought to life with the delightful fragrance of cotton candy, vanilla, popcorn and cinnamon.
